Y'all look great! And that's a F-4 Phantom fuselage, isn't it? Even though they were loud, and slow, and didn't originally have guns, I still like the overall design.

Oh, I agree. Rhino. The owner has 3 nose fuselages in the field. I was so surprised by its size. Huge! F-4 has many fans here in Japan. It's so sad they were retired this March. F-4EJ-i, Improved F-4E.
Yup!! In fact the most dangerous few in the group are women!

Katsu-san, glad to see that your “juices” are flowing through again !
The entire build is looking fantastic !.... but, the ‘fuselage’ component of the Ship with it’s markings being as they are - just straight ‘simple’ lines across it , as opposed to the ( intricate lines ) elsewhere .... did you intend this, or were your ‘juices’ being emptied at the time ?

Thank you so much, joberg-san!Love the paint job and the details that are starting to pop-up. It`s great to see that bird getting its coat of paint Katsu-san
Now I'm struggling with making decals. I'm using some free software like Gimp, Inkscape, and google spreadsheet. It's three years ago when I used those last time. So, I almost forgot how to use them. Anyway, the US aircraft marking like star and bar and each letter and numbers were done. Now I'm working on the insignia of Raijin「雷神」 and banner of 'VMM-625' motto 'Ecce Iratus Fulmen' which is the homage for the Osprey squadron of US Marine stationing in Okinawa Futenma VMM-265 'Dragons' 「竜」.
The US Marine's VF squadrons and especially VMM-265 had had a hard time when the Osprey has been deployed in Okinawa. Yup, bashed by both of those liberal media and the ruling party at that time.
I will post the result soon.

According to Google, that's the translation for the Latin "Ecce Iratus Fulmen."

Added a brown color on the AAV vehicle.
Then fitted with the aero vehicle.
I drew decals with the free graphic software, Inkscape, and Google Spread Sheet.
This is the early sketch of the insignia of Raijin. That was more than 2 years ago if you remember.
Then I trace it on the Windows paint tool and edited it with Inkscape.
I will print them with the laser copy machine at the nearest convenience store this weekend.
Thanks for looking,

I think thats turned out really good. The simple brown gives it a bit of camouflage feel.
I know you struggled with this build at times, so I'm glad you have been able to make it through and at the end finally.

Thank you, Michael-san.
That was a long and winding build but thanks to your support, I could come this far.
Thank you always!
Thank you, Tom-san!
Love the pics showing the face of the hole ship...very scary weaponry
Thank you so much always, joberg-san! I was hoping it looks realistic.

Thank you, Analyzer-san. It will be finished soon.
Thank you, Ken-san.
This was the most troublesome work I've ever had.
